Nutrition Calculator
Calculate calories, macros, and nutrition facts from selected foods
How to use Nutrition Calculator
- 1Enter the foods and their weights.
- 2Enter the nutritional value per 100 g, or select it from the common diet.
- 3Read the total heat, protein, carbon water, fat and fibre of the whole meal.
Estimating dietary nutrition
Nutrient = thallium (weight g/ 100 x 100 g)Nutrient calculators add macronutrients of each diet by weight, giving the total amount of home-made meals that cannot be covered by packaging labels.
Accuracy depends on the right weight and the right database entry; brands differ from fresh forms of calorie per gram.
Energy calculations used **Atwater coefficient**: carbon water 4 kcal/g, protein 4 kcal/g, fat 9 kcal/g (alcohol 7 kcal/g but no nutritional value). So ** the energy density of fat is 2.25 times that of carbon water and protein** — that's why it's about 10 g cooking oil (about a spoon) = 90 kcal, while 10 g rice is about 12 kcal. ** Recommended in the food guide for the Chinese population: Adult males of about 2,250 kcal/day and females of about 1,800 kcal/day** (light physical activity), depending on age, weight and activity.
** The core of the weight reduction is the caloric shortfall, but not below base metabolism**. Basic metabolic rate (BMR) can be estimated using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula: Men BMR = 10 x body weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age + 5; Women = 10 x body weight + 6.25 x height - 5 x age - 161. For example, men aged 30, 70 kg, 175 cm: BMR ≈ 1,647 kcal, multiplied by the activity factor (sitting 1.2, light activity 1.375, medium 1.55), are required to consume the total daily consumption. **The daily gap recommended for lipid reduction is 300-500 kcal, corresponding to a weekly weight reduction of approximately 0.3-0.5 kg** - This is a sustainable rate, and the gap over the General Assembly has led to a reduction in metabolism and muscle loss, which is highly resilient.
| Nutrition | Energy factor | Daily supply versus recommended | Main food sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | 4 kcal/g | 50% – 65% | Rice noodles, potatoes, soybeans. |
| Protein | 4 kcal/g | 10% – 20% | Eggs and beans and shrimp. |
| Fat | 9 kcal/g | 20% – 30% | Oil, nuts, fat. |
| Alcohol | 7 kcal/g | Not recommended | Wine |
| Food fibre | About 2 kcal/g | 25 – 30 g/ day | All valleys, vegetables, beans. |
Three nutrients and energy coefficients
Frequently asked questions
Why weigh rather than estimate?
The visual mass may vary by up to 50% and distorts the sum of the heat.
Are the values different from those of life?
Unlike, cooking changes water content, which should be valued in the form of actual weight.
How good is the database?
Reliable entries are close to reality, but the results should be regarded as estimates rather than medical findings.
What does NRV % on the nutrition label mean?
NRV (Nutrient Reference Values, Nutrient Reference) is the percentage of ** recommended daily intake**, and the Chinese standard is based on a reference diet of 2,000 kcal. For example, a food protein NRV % = 15%, which means that 100 g (or one) meets 15% of one-day protein demand. ** The table of ingredients is much more useful than the advertical **: The table of ingredients is organized from high to low, with the first three being the main ingredient; if the "white sugar" is in the top three, care should be taken when any "health" is written in the packaging.
Is "Zero Sugar" "Zero Fat" real?
There are clear thresholds by country, not absolute zero:** "no sugar" means "0.5 g sugar/100 g (solid) or 100 mL (liquid)**; "low sugar" 5 g/100 g; "no fat" 0.5 g/100 g; "low fat" 3 g/100 g (solid); "no energy" 17 kJ/100 g. So "Zero Sugar" cookies can still contain a lot of starch (and then glucose) and "Zero Fat" drinks may contain a lot of sugar. ** The health of the food is judged by the full nutritional composition table and the ration table, rather than by a positive statement of packaging. **
